Oh no. lol.
Using CAT5 is good but, for recording engineers who use them in place of XLR cables. It's much less expensive, lighter, and takes up less space.
I could see it being used between surround sound stereos and receivers maybe. Only in the craziest multichannel set ups like 16.4.2 or whatever people are doing.
But, that's it.

@GothFvck@metalhead.club @mattdm@hachyderm.io @zuul@pdx.social you might not have realised just how crazy this is. This is not about using Ethernet cabling to connect your speakers. They are literally talking about using a different Ethernet cable to attach your file server to your computer, since supposedly different cables changer the way the music files served off of that server sounds. Yes. It's that crazy.
